Nevermind...

Well, the decision was made not to extend the deadline until the eleventh because the problem with the site was fixed in an hour rather than two days. I apologize for any confusion. The deadline for voting is back to October 4th at midnight.

Dandelion Snow

Welcome to the blog for Dandelion Snow. Written by author Sheila O. Lindsay, Dandelion Snow is a sweet tale about three little girls all dressed for Sunday School who decide to have a little race before church. The three girls stir up dandelion snow as they race back and forth in their backyard, smudging their faces and dresses, before being discovered by Mama. It is a beautiful poem, sure to bring a smile to any face.

Illustrating Dandelion Snow is artist, Vanessa Roeder. She thoroughly enjoyed racing through the swirls of snow with each of the three girls.

Dandelion Snow is a finalist for this year's ABC Picture Book Competition. The finalists' books will be put to an internet vote to determine the winner. Be sure to vote daily September 20th through October 4th as the book with the most votes will receive a royalty based publishing contract for their entry!
